This species occurs from east Africa to west Thailand and north Indonesia. It also occurs separately from Japan to the Philippines and separately again from Papua New Guinea and Queensland to New Caledonia (Röckel et al. 1995). The EOO, AOO and number of locations exceed the thresholds for criteria B1 and B2.

In common with all Conus spp, this species is traded occasionally by specimen shell dealers for the collector market. There are no quantitative data available on the number of shells removed, however shells are sold for prices typically in the mid range (Rice 2007).
